you had a baby boom , those are great sand dwelling CUC , sell some off to the fish store for credit or give em to local reefers , nassarius snail
 
Look like nassarius snails which are good, but they could also be whelks, which can eat all sorts of stuff. Im sure someone with more knowledge on snails could chime in here, maybe post a thread in the hitchiker ID section.
 
Looks like stomella snails

Those appear to be Ilyanassa obsoleta or Eastern Mudsnail. They are from colder waters off the east coast of the U.S. and have accidentally found their way into the hobby; being mislabeled as nassarius snails, even though these are colder water and predatory to other snails.
